Guidelines of computer ethics
•
Computer Ethics is a branch of practical philosophy
which deals with how computing professionals should
make decisions regarding professional and social
conduct
•
Ethics is a set of moral principles that govern the
behavior of a group or individual. Therefore, computer
ethics is set of moral principles that regulate the use of
computers. Some common issues of computer ethics
include intellectual property rights (such as copyrighted
electronic content), privacy concerns, and how computers
affect society.
State Law (Article 7.1 of Title 18.2 of the Code of Virginia)
classifies damage to computer hardware or software (18.2152.4), unauthorized examination….etc

Rules of the Road for Kids
•
1. Guard your privacy. What people know about you is up to you.
•
2. Protect your reputation. Self-reflect before you self-reveal. What’s funny
or edgy today could cost you tomorrow.
3. Nothing is private online. Anything you say or do can be copied, pasted,
and sent to gazillions of people without your permission.
4. Assume everyone is watching. There’s a huge, vast audience out there.
If someone is your friend’s friend, they can see everything.
5. Apply the Golden Rule. If you don’t want it done to you, don’t do it to
someone else.
6. Watch the clock. A virtual hug never matches a real one. Balance your
life.
7. Choose wisely. Not all content is appropriate. You know what we mean.
8. Don't hide. Using anonymity to cloak your actions doesn’t turn you into a
trustworthy, responsible human being.
9. Think about what you see. Just because it’s online doesn’t make it true.
10. Be smart, be safe. Not everyone is who they say they are. But you know
that.

• Recruiters look for methods to differentiate

recruiter or client googles your name and does not
find anything or much?
• What if a principal searches for a potential hire’s name and

• What does it mean NOT to have a digital footprint in
these cases?
• Is it positive or does it shed a negative light on your

• What does it say about you, if you do not have a blog, a

• What does it mean if you, as a teacher do not have a

Digital Footprint – Google Profile
Page 1 of Google
The more social networking sites and bloging/twittering you do – the more your name will be “relevant” on a
Google search or any search engine for that matter. However, if you have a common name (Tom Jackson) it
does not matter how hard you work it – you will be back paged on Google. The good news is, there is a work
around to have your name show up on page 1. The short cut is creating a “Google Profile”. This will put you
on Page 1, despite how common your name is.
Keep in mind that you must brand yourself. In other words link your name with your desired job title (Tom
Jackson / Sales). When recruiters search various sites for Sales my name and sites will pull along with that
key word.
Creating a Google Profile:
Google, in the search box type <ME>, hit return. This will take you to the Google profile page.

Adding your URL/Webpage to Google:
This is a great way to short cut Google again. Do not wait for Google to find your sites – load your sites directly
in to Google. -www.google.com/addurl/?continue=/addurl
Make sure if you have multiple sites (ie
LinkedIN, Facebook, Twitter, etc) that you
link each site to the other. This what they
call “nesting”. Nesting is very powerful
because you are linking yourself to
yourself multiple times. The search
engines not only pick up on your url it also
maps which urls are contained within your
page. In other words you look bigger than
you really are.
Note: Site or URL does not mean that you
have to have your own personal website
(but do get one). When you created your
linked in profile you were given a URL that
points to your profile page
(www.linkedin.com/in/thomasjacksonjr)
that is a URL and the same applies to
every social networking site on the
internet.

Digital Identity
From Wikipedia: Digital identity refers to the aspect of
digital technology that is concerned with the mediation
of people's experience of their own identity and the
identity of other people and things.
How do you manage and make informed choices about
your digital identity? What does all of this mean in an
educational context? What are the questions YOU need
to ask of your learners to educate them about their
digital identities?

Tips for Social Networking
• http://www.commonsensemedia.org/tips-social-networking
Social Networks: Facts of Life
• Facebook and MySpace have privacy
controls
• Some sites require kids to be older than 13 to
have a profile, but younger kids set up accounts
anyway
• There are no guarantees of privacy (even
with settings) since anything can be cut, pasted,
and sent
• Inappropriate pictures, posts, or messages can
result in damage to kids' reputations
• Kids can "tag" (or identify) their friends
which can violate their privacy

• Digital Footprints
• Managing your digital footprint
• By conducting periodic searches of
your name, you'll always know what
information is out there and have the
opportunity to make corrections or
adjustments as needed.
Ensure there are plenty of positive
associations
• Build your own professional web page. Include your contact
information, specialty, and resume, as well as some work samples. You also
can feature articles of interest and links to your favorite websites.
• Stack the deck in your favor. Websites such as ZoomInfo.com
allow users to post information about themselves, so consider including details
about your professional involvement and qualifications on these types of
forums.
• Share your insights. Posting your comments on industry forums or
authoring online articles in your area of expertise is a smart way to reinforce
your professional reputation.
• Exercise discretion.
